RoyceRolls Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, looks like I was wrong about Trubisky. Skip Bayless gave the Bears a D- on their first round pick and said Trubisky was a 5th round prospect. Looks Mr. Biscuit IS the next Aaron Rogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggins7919 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I admit it, I didn't like Kizer before the draft, and I didn't like him during the damn season either. That being said, do I like him at #52? Do I like him considering we didn't have to give up any of our resources to take him? Do I like him when other teams traded away a bunch of shit and we let the draft come to us? The answer is...I hope so. Everybody on earth knew this was a down year for QB's, and if you were a team that needed an "immediate starter", you were probably shit out of luck. In other words, "you can't pick what's not there." For years we tried this anyway because "we had to have a QB!" So I'm thrilled to see our office ALMOST use our picks (still angry about not getting Hooker) and resist the temptation of moving up for a QB who probably won't play any time soon. Look, I realize the #52 pick is no small thing, and it's still relatively high, but it's nowhere near the same game as taking somebody top 12. The immense pressure to throw Kizer into the fire won't be present, and a second round selection isn't generally expected to come right in and kick ass. We took a swing at the plate, as we should've, at a reasonable place in the draft. 6 months ago, several analysts had Kizer as their #1 prospect. He's definitely got major issues to fix, but nobody is expecting him to come in a win the job right away, and that's a good thing. Let's get lucky one time. Let's hope that Kizer is better than we saw, and his shitty coach hurt his play (and head) worse than we think. We wanted an "AFC North" type QB, right? A guy who was about 6'4 and 230 pounds? A guy with decent mobility? Cmon Hue...coach this kid up and give the fans and team what they've needed for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDawg31 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 We have to set up the back up to next year's QB. Maybe just once the football gods will shine on Cleveland and throw us a bone. Anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Styles Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Does this Joe Montana below look anything like the one SF had throwing the ball? http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/joe-montana-1.html School Conf Class Pos G Cmp Att Pct Yds Y/A TD Int 1975 Notre Dame Ind QB 7 28 66 42.4 507 7.7 4 8 1977 Notre Dame Ind QB 9 99 189 52.4 1604 8.5 11 8 1978 Notre Dame Ind QB 11 141 260 54.2 2010 7.7 10 9 Career Notre Dame QB 27 268 515 52.0 4121 8.0 25 25 There is a certain criteria those numbers don't show. CLUTCHNESS. A quality Montana did display while at ND and continued during his career with the 49'rs.Montana tended to rise when his team needed him the most.It was keep it close then give Montana the ball with the game on the line....Joe was a great closer. Haven't watched Kizer myself. That being said, have you seen that quality ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flugel Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Gotta admit...you're good at that "trying to convince yourself" thing.....I prefer to go with my gut and say it like it is..... If he was your least favorite.....why not just say that?......(here's how I do it)....Damn, hate that pick.! We needed talent and they picked my LEAST FAVORITE player.....bitches!!! See how easy?.....Btw....I feel much better now..... I'm glad talking to me this way makes you feel so much better now. I wasn't aware we lost the mutual respect I thought we had for one another in this golden rule you're extending me here. You're jumping all over anything I type in this thread just 2-3 weeks after I lit into somebody that did that to you. Whatever... I already said Kizer wasn't my favorite QB prospect to Hoorta in a previous post before I replied to Steve. Does posting it more than once make it more true? If so, no wonder why we're getting Ghoolie on skipping record if there's that big of a need. And what kind of reward do I get down the road when/if I've already cornered myself into a point of no return about somebody especially if I want him to succeed? I'm happy we didn't burn a first round pick on a QB so if doing so meant all my faves were gone in that round, I find no reason to complain about the consequences of it while we wait and see how it turns out.

And what kind of reward do I get down the road when/if I've already cornered myself into a point of no return about somebody especially if I want him to succeed? Reward?...cornered?....how about just saying it like you see it?.....we all want him to do well....and if he does, you're allowed to say that when it happens.....and if you dont think he's likely to do well?.....you're allowed to say that too....no rewards given and no corners painted.... I'm happy we didn't burn a first round pick on a QB so if doing so meant all my faves were gone in that round, I find no reason to complain about the consequences of it while we wait and see how it turns out.

LondonBrown Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 When you have all the picks we do this draft and next there is anbsoltely nothing wrong taking a chance on Kizer as he fell to you. Im amazed anyone has an issue with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bone Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 After a good night sleep / reset, I guess I could best be described as "cautiously optimistic". I really like his physical traits, but hate what I've read about his mental traits, and as I've said many times before, it's what's beating in a players chest and what's computing in his head that is the difference between success and failure at the highest level. Maybe the reports on his immaturity are grossly exaggerated, and since he's now a Brown, he's got my full support. That being said, and if I'm being totally honest, I don't think he will be the answer, but here's to hoping I'm dead wrong...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 he said it's what he aspires to be he didnt claim he was that. .... Ha...thats BS....here's his quote.... “Name a college quarterback who goes into the game-plan meetings on Monday and throws his notes at the coaches,” Kizer said. “No one else game plans the way I do. No one else prepares the way I do. No one else knows football the way I do. No one else is as big as I am. No one else is as powerful a runner as I am. Pat Mahomes might throw the ball 80 yards and I can only throw the ball 72, but I guarantee he can’t throw an out route the way I can. “No one else can do what I can do. And I’ve truly figured out in this (draft) process, if I can maximize all my potential in every aspect of the game – this is bold – I do have the ability to be the greatest quarterback to ever play. Imagine taking (Tom) Brady’s intellect and Brady’s preparation and putting it on a guy with Cam Newton’s body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who has so many fucked up things going against him that he could never be the mastermind of a devious game plan that sees him winning in the end, yet he does. Also, if l'm really fucked up and he does something stupid, l'll try to say "Goddammit Kizer!", but it'll probably come out "Grddameite Kosar!", and that will be warm and fuzzy.
